The great thing about taking Optimizing with Box in our online format is the ability to create a schedule that works for you!

There are two key content portions of Optimizing with Box:

 

Self-paced curriculum. The self-paced content portion is available upon enrollment and will cover the core concepts and objectives for the Box Certified Professional. Plan approximately 2.5 - 3.5 hours to complete the self-paced content in its entirety.

 

Live Learning Labs. The live learning labs reinforce the lessons covered in the self-paced curriculum. Focusing on real-life case studies, these labs are your opportunity to see the concepts in action. The supplemental live learning labs are approximately 50 minutes each and cover 4 topics. These virtual labs are offered using the following cadence.

 

Topic Date & Time
Admin console & best practices
  • First Wednesday of even months @ 8am Pacific time
  • First Thursday of odd months @ 2pm Pacific time
Business process optimization
  • Second Wednesday of even months @ 8am Pacific time
  • Second Thursday of odd months @ 2pm Pacific time
Business process transformation
  • Third Wednesday of even months @ 8am Pacific time
  • Third Thursday of odd months @ 2pm Pacific time
Managing change for end users
  • Fourth Wednesday of even months @ 8am Pacific time
  • Fourth Thursday of odd months @ 2pm Pacific time

NOTE:

* Each lab will be recorded and made available to those enrolled in Optimizing with Box

* If you don't want to wait for a live lab, you're welcome to watch a past recordings as they become available

 

How do I put this all together?

Here's a sample schedule of the recommended cadence while taking the course. Use this as a guide to build your own journey to BCP!

 

Week 1
  • Complete the Intro and Admin Console & Best Practices lesson in the self-paced course
  • Attend the Admin Console & Best Practices live learning lab
Week 2
  • Complete the Business Process Optimization lesson in the self-paced course
  • Attend the Business Process Optimization live learning lab
Week 3
  • Complete the Business Process Transformation lesson in the self-paced course
  • Attend the Business Process Transformation live learning lab
Week 4
  • Complete the Managing Change for End Users lesson in the self-paced course
  • Attend the Managing Change for End Users live learning lab
Week 5+
  • Spend time reviewing the content and additional case studies.
  • The exam is ready when you are!

 

What if I don't start on the first week of the month?

That's ok! You have a few options:

  • You can start with the lesson that is offered in the live learning lab for that week. Most lessons do not have to be done in order.
    • Taking Business Process Optimization before Business Process Transformation is highly recommended for a cohesive case study experience.
  • Start at the beginning of the self-paced course and then watch a recording of a prior live learning lab.
  • Work through the full self-paced course and attend live learning labs when the schedule works for you!

    PBGC to Provide Special Financial Assistance to Financially Troubled Multiemployer Pension Plans

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    July 9, 2021

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) today announced an interim final rule implementing a new Special Financial Assistance (SFA) Program for financially troubled multiemployer defined benefit pension plans. “The American Rescue Plan provides funding to severely underfunded pension plans that will ensure that over three million of America’s workers, retirees, and their families receive the pension benefits they earned through many years of hard work,” said PBGC Director Gordon Hartogensis. “These benefits are critical to the economic security of so many retirees and their families.”

    The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 (PL 117-2) — a historic law passed by Congress and signed by President Biden on March 11, 2021 — contains provisions to provide an estimated $94 billion in assistance to eligible plans that are severely underfunded. Additionally, it assists plans by providing funds to reinstate previously suspended benefits. ARP also addresses the solvency of PBGC’s Multiemployer Insurance Program, which was projected to become insolvent in 2026.

    The interim final rule sets forth what information a plan is required to file to demonstrate eligibility for SFA and the formula to determine the amount of SFA that PBGC will pay to an eligible plan. ARP authorizes PBGC to prioritize SFA applications of plans in specified groups, and the interim final rule identifies the priority order in which such plans are permitted to apply. The interim final rule also outlines a processing system, which will accommodate the filing and review of many applications in a limited amount of time. In addition, it specifies permissible investments for SFA funds and establishes certain restrictions and conditions on plans that receive SFA.

    The interim final rule is posted on PBGC's website today, July 9, 2021. The rule is also on public inspection today at FederalRegister.gov and is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on July 12, 2021. PBGC has included a 30-day public comment period in this rulemaking from the date of publication in the Federal Register. All interested parties may submit their comments, suggestions, and views on the rule’s provisions here: reg.comments@pbgc.gov or https://www.regulations.gov.

    Additional information, including Frequently Asked Questions, is available at PBGC.gov/american-rescue-plan-act-of-2021.
